In an embodiment, a method to provide a time-ordered snapshot view on behalf of a host of a specified portion of a backup of a first storage system data container stored at a second storage system includes initiating an order at the host to obtain a view of a data container. The order specifies a date and time of the ordered view. The method further includes receiving the order at a server adapted to assemble and enable access to the ordered view, and at the server, accessing the second storage system according to the date and time of the ordered view and accessing an applicable data write representing a data change to the data container.

Abstract: Ensuring data persistence and consistency in enterprise storage backup systems method and apparatus are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes creating a data log structure (e.g., a log file) on a storage device (e.g., a Serial ATA drive, a SCSI drive, a SAS drive, a storage are network, etc.) coupled to an application server to store a backup data generated by a filter module in a continuous backup environment and buffering the backup data generated by the filter module through a memory module that transfers the backup data to the data log structure on the storage device based on an occurrence of an event. The data log structure may be created by configuring a portion of the storage device as a dedicated resource available to the memory module to copy the backup data and the data log structure may be a file on the storage device coupled to the application server having the file system.

Abstract: A method and system of recovery point data view shift through a direction-agnostic roll algorithm is disclosed. The method includes forming a data view around a recovery point, and shifting the data view around the recovery point through a direction-agnostic roll algorithm that uses at least one of a roll-forward algorithm to shift the data view to a time after the recovery point and a roll-backward algorithm to shift the data view to a time before the recover point. A data integrity may be determined to be consistent at the recover point by examining data and meta-data associated with the recovery point. The recovery point may be associated with one of an automatically generated event, a user definable event, and/or a prepackaged event. A marker data may be generated at the recovery point to enable the direction-agnostic roll algorithm to reduce a recovery time objective when an algorithm is applied.

Abstract: Methods, software suites, networks, and systems of recovery point data view formation with generation of a recovery view and a coalesce policy are disclosed. In one embodiment, a network includes a virtualization module to form a data view around a recovery point, a recovery module to generate a recovery snapshot having an ability to position forward and backward from the recovery point when a rolling algorithm is applied, and an events module to generate a coalesce policy around the recovery point to reduce a storage requirement. The network may include an export module to transfer the data view to an external processing device as a virtual volume using one or more of an iSCSI and a fiber channel transport interface. The export module may automatically communicate the data view to a backup tape to provide extended data retention using a lifecycle management policy.
